Five Films & Sneaky Big Sign Co-Pro Partnership

In an effort to prioritize sports programming, Five Films has inked a co-production partnership with the independent studio Sneaky Big.

Under the terms of the deal, Five Films—the Emmy award-winning producers behind programs such as PBC: Fight Camp (Fox Sports), The Boardroom with Kevin Durant (ESPN+) and The Circus (Showtime)—will create original sports, esports and military projects to be co-produced with Sneaky Big in the U.S. and internationally.

With a roster of capabilities that spans from original programming, video production and live broadcasting to virtual and augmented reality, custom animations and post-production, Sneaky Big has worked with clients across a range of industries. With a focus on live broadcasting, the company has worked as the live production partner for clients such as The Alliance of American Football, Grand Canyon University’s men’s basketball team and the esports company Do Not Peek Entertainment. Sneaky Big has also developed original programming, such as documentaries, miniseries, reality series and unscripted TV shows.

“Connecting with the audience and telling meaningful stories that provide deeper understandings and greater appreciations are the pillars of Five Films,” said Scott Boggins and Craig Jenest, co-founders of Five Films. “Our partnership with Sneaky Big allows us to continue our passion of creating unique content for all to enjoy while also providing the unequaled opportunity to directly tap into the exciting and exploding space of esports.”

“Each partnership we establish, every project we complete and every piece of work we produce at Sneaky Big has one common denominator—great storytelling,” said Sneaky Big CEO Marianne Guenther. “Five Films is a leading force in the industry and a natural fit to extend our footprint.”
